The busiest interchange in Washington County is Interstate 540 and Sunset Avenue in Springdale with about 67,000 cars a day on I-540 and 40,000 on Sunset Avenue. In Benton County, the busiest is I-540 and Walnut Street-Walton Boulevard on the Rogers-Bentonville line, with 72,000 cars a day on I-540 and 33,500 on Walnut-Walton. The busiest interchange in the state is I-430 and I-630 interchange in west Little Rock.

Now we need better access off of I-540 in to the whole NWA Mall area!I was part of a group that met with AHTD representatives and determined that an interchange could be constructed between the Fulbright Expressway and Johnson interchange, disputing the notion that it did not meet separation criteria!This area is Fayetteville's major "Economic Engine" and better access will ensure it's continuance and economic viability!
